One person has died and several others have been injured following an early morning accident on Bobs Way in Eerste River.

Golden Arrow has confirmed that one of its buses was involved in the collision. Spokesperson Bronwen Dyk-Beyer says the driver has since been treated for shock.

“Based on the information available at this stage, a Golden Arrow bus was stationary when it was struck from behind by a third-party vehicle carrying six occupants.”

Dyk-Beyer confirmed that no passengers were aboard the bus at the time of the accident.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) has since confirmed that a case of culpable homicide is under investigation.

“Upon arrival, they found a silver Mercedes-Benz with five occupants. The driver of the motor vehicle was declared dead on the scene while four passengers sustained various injuries and were transported to a medical facility. The police registered a case of culpable homicide, and the circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation,” SAPS said in a statement.
